a deadly thrust, which made him fall back, as one who had received a<br />
mortal wound.<br />
Christian perceiving that, rushed at him, saying, "In all these things<br />
we are more than conquerors, through Him who loved us!"<br />
And with that, Apollyon spread his dragon wings, and sped away, so<br />
that Christian saw him no more for a season.<br />
No man can imagine what<br />
yelling and hideous roaring<br />
Apollyon made during all this<br />
combat — he spoke like a<br />
dragon; and on the other side,<br />
what sighs and groans burst<br />
from Christian's heart. I never<br />
saw him all the while give so<br />
much as one pleasant look, till<br />
he perceived he had wounded<br />
Apollyon with his two-edged<br />
sword; then, indeed, he<br />
looked upward with<br />
thanksgiving.<br />
So when the battle was over,<br />
Christian said, "I will here<br />
give thanks to Him who<br />
delivered me out of the mouth<br />
of the lion — to Him who<br />
helped me against Apollyon.”<br />
